An Expert in Rehabilitation
I earned my degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Washington and have pursued advanced education in specialties such as Muscle Activation Technique, manual therapy, foot and ankle biomechanics and custom insert orthotic design. I am a skilled hands-on therapist with a thorough knowledge of therapeutic exercise, joint mechanics and soft tissue techniques. I specialize in patient education both in the clinic and out in the community. This enables my patients to thoroughly understand the hows and whys of their injury and their treatment. I have authored numerous books and articles including, 7 Secrets of Back Pain Relief Guide.
A Diverse Background
I spent 9 years in the music business in New York City writing and producing music. The bridge between my music career and physical therapy is my ongoing dedication to the martial art know as Tai Chi. My interest in physical therapy grew out of my application of Tai Chi to musculoskeletal problems. I have taught Tai Chi at the Wellspring School for Asian Body Work in Boise as well as privately. I have also conducted fitness and injury prevention workshops for both the US Forest Service and the Boise and Nampa Fire Departments. When I'm not in the clinic I enjoy spending time with my daughter as well as playing music, skiing, mountain biking and kiteboarding.
